Storage71Roof rack system
Roof rack For safety reasons and to avoiddamage to the roof, the vehicle
approved roof rack system is
recommended. For further
information contact a workshop.
Fasten the roof rack to the roof rails following the instructions that
accompany the system, ensuring that
the roof load is evenly distributed over the side or cross rails.
Loads must not be placed on the roof
surface. To prevent damage or loss,
check frequently that roof loads are
securely fastened.
Driving with a roof load affects the
vehicle centre of gravity; drive
carefully in crosswinds and do not
drive at high speeds.
Remove the roof rack when not in use.Loading information
■ Heavy objects in the load compartment should be evenly
distributed and placed as far
forward as possible. Ensure the
backrests are securely engaged. If
objects can be stacked, the heavier
objects should be placed at the bottom.
With rear seats in the folded
position, objects must not be
stacked higher than the seat
backrests.
■ Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes 3 70.
■ Secure loose objects in the load compartment, e.g. with a luggage
floor net, to prevent sliding.
■ When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrests ofthe rear seats must not be angled
forward.
■ Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the
backrests.■ Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or the
instrument panel, and do not cover
the sensor on top of the instrument
panel.
■ The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, electrical
parking brake and gear selector, or hinder the freedom of movement ofthe driver. Do not place any
unsecured objects in the interior.
■ Do not drive with an open load compartment.9 Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or vehicle.
■ The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 201) and the EC kerb
